Will/Does Anyone Make a 308 Win Suppressor?

[ianpadron]

Where do I order one? I only need .358. If the 30 cal reaper will handle a 30-06 it should handle a 35 whelen? Would be happy to send out a rifle or two to help with testing.

Id also offer up a rifle for testing. 338 fed, kimber MT. Can drop it in Post Falls as long as I can get a guarantee that Form isn't the one that tests it

 

[TradLife406]

Just need a 30 cal can

I'm holding out for an OG308, somewhere between a 6 and 6.5. Maybe 6.5 sized, but it seems like the 6.5 would be overbuilt to handle PRCs or RPMs.

A little more volume doesn’t hurt like the og6.5 has. 1 month from now the og30 gen 2 will be avail and I think it’ll be a bad arse option from what I’m hearing.

I mean, I think most of the shorter, lightish cans on the market are this footprint? 6” can, 8 or 9 oz, most of them are available with a 308 bore I think? This category seems crowded rather than sparse to me, its clearly a popular category. (My dd STI, nomad ti, etc, etc). That use but under 8oz , 3” muzzle forward otb would be slick if it could be done. Its probably limited by being a hunters can rather than a shooters can, but Id look hard at it.
I dont own a 6mm. I get theyre popular, but outside rokslide I think “most” folks are using 7mm and .308 bore cartridges for hunting.

So why not the OG30 Gen 2 for a 308? I’m guessing it’ll be 8 ish ounces, and only 4” muzzle forward

If those are the stats, that will fit the bill, but that's speculation on a can that isn't available yet.

I think the market is heading toward one dedicated can per rifle. And if so, people will want to buy a can that is optimum for that application. I was more curious as to how much smaller and lighter it could be if it didn't have to also work on 300prc.

I’m pretty sure it’ll be super close to those stats. My reasoning: the OG will be renamed the OG HD, and it’s only 10 ounces. It can handle the 300 RUM. The OG 6.5 is 7.5 ounces, so I figure a Gen 2 OG has to land between those cans, but closer in weight to the 6.5. It won’t be intended for a 300PRC.

Yes, I’m surmising. But I don’t think I’m far off. We’ll know soon enough

I’d be shocked if it is substantially different from that.

I am quite baffled that anyone is having a hard time finding a good hunting suppressor for a .308 Winchester. There are tons of them out there.

What is wrong with the ZG 30, Reaper, AB Raptor 8, Nomad Ti, or OG 30 (especially the gen2 version)?

Not as baffled as all the oversized suppressors you just listed.......

The ZG 30?

 

[Q_Sertorius]

Dude, you aren’t in the bedroom, two inches doesn’t make a lot of difference in length on a modern hunting rifle. Even in Virginia woods, a 6” suppressor on a 20” barrel works really well.

 

[Q_Sertorius]

Expecting that you are going to get an OG-6 S, but in .308 caliber seems unrealistic to me. The smaller bore diameter is what enables these little short cans to have decent suppression.

How would an OG 30 be oversized? Only 4” muzzle forward

Maybe it is, I'm just asking the question. Bore volume is part of the deal. But the og65 that is rated for 6.5prc/rpm shouldn't be dramatically different than 308win.

Like I said, I'm just asking the question, how much smaller and lighter could a 30 cal can be if it wasn't rated for 20" 300prc. Definitely smaller and lighter, but how much? Where would it land? Even the ZG30 is pretty much the same size as the nomad xc because the magnum class 30 Cals require a lot of volume and strength.

I have nothing against your purchases of the OG or the AB. This is not an indictment of any cans currently produced or owned by anyone. I think the market is heading in the more cartridge specific suppressor direction, and I'm genuinely curious.

It's 8" and almost 11 ounces. It's indestructible with 300 win mag. This is the opposite of what I am asking about.

It’s shaping up to be the same form factor size as the OG 6.5, just a touch heavier and dang quiet for 4in muzzle forward. It’s not really worth it in my opinion to make a 308 rated can and not have it be rated for 300 prc etc. It wouldn’t be much different in size. I would be curious how a Og6-s would perform bored out to 30 cal. Obviously not as well as the 6mm version but I see what you mean by getting the wheels turning.

At the end of the day we produce some cool stuff and we will make what will sell that we’re proud to put our name on. Right now we are wanting to please the masses. Getting further down the rabbit hole of even more niche cans is something that will happen further down the road. Just not now.

That’s all I’m saying.

Sorry, I misunderstood. I was not aware of the gen 2 when I started this thread. Like I said before, if true, it's probably where i end up.

It’s shaping up to be the same form factor size as the OG 6.5, just a touch heavier and dang quiet for 4in muzzle forward.

If the Gen 2 is very close to the 6.5, then that's what im looking for, and I'm definitely interested.

It’s not really worth it in my opinion to make a 308 rated can and not have it be rated for 300 prc etc. It wouldn’t be much different in size.

This also answers my question. Maybe I'm just wrong in my line of thinking that it could be smaller or lighter enough to be significant.

I would be curious how a Og6-s would perform bored out to 30 cal. Obviously not as well as the 6mm version but I see what you mean by getting the wheels turning.

This was exactly where I started.

I agree that we aren't at the.point of really specific cans, say one for 6.5creed vs a different one for 6.5prc, but I do think it's coming. Maybe not to the same sales levels or prevalence as universal 30 cal cans, but I think it will become part of the market.

Thank you for the thoughtful response.

im curious what the geometry would allow for bore/reaming per caliber model on us suppressors?

Good question. That far might mess with the clips going from 243-308. I’m just going to leave it at the new og30 will be awesome and if there’s high enough demand for a 308 bore og6-s I’m sure Cliff wouldn’t be against proto’ing one in the future to see how it does. But I’m just the sales guy, it’s untimely his call.

I have no problem sharing ideas with him though! We’re getting further down this rabbit hole than I’d like to get at this time.
